The Buffalo Independent Secondary School Network (BISSNET) is a consortium of 17 independent high schools in Erie and Niagara Counties of Western New York, working together to facilitate educational advancement, to provide access to technology and to make a difference in the lives of our children.

Consortium members are linked through state-of-the-art instructional technologies enabling the sharing of information, resources and educational programming. With seed money from the John R. Oishei Foundation, BISSNET has installed local area networks in each school and a wide area network connecting the schools to provide students and faculty with high-speed Internet access.

The consortium shares a virtual library enabling faculty and students easy access to web resources including subscriptions to online databases and periodicals. BISSNET member schools also share a subscription to Turnitin, a web-based anti-plagiarism software, as well as membership to the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
